How the award works

To find the most hilarious one-liners, we enlisted the help of an expert panel of ten judges, consisting of the UK's foremost comedy critics. They scoured venues at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe over a week-long period to nominate their five favourite jokes. The shortlisted gags were then put to 2,000 Brits, with no reference to the comedians who told them, who then voted for the jokes they found the funniest.

Honourable mentions - the one-liners that just missed out:

"I never lie on my CV...because it creases it." - Jenny Collier

"If you don't know what introspection is you need to take a long, hard look at yourself." - Ian Smith

And still loving it!

"I usually meet my girlfriend at 12:59 because I like that one-to-one time." - Tom Ward

"Whenever I get to Edinburgh, I'm reminded of the definition of a gentleman. It's someone who knows how to play the bagpipes, but doesn't." - Gyles Brandreth
